The durability of SHCC with alkali treated curaua fiber exposed to natural weathering

Cement and Concrete Composites, 2018
Abstract This work presents the durability studies carried on strain-hardening cement-based composites reinforced with 4% of 40 mm alkali treated natural curaua fiber. The collected results present the influence of natural weathering periods of 6 and 12 months on the composite tensile properties.

Thermal Analysis of Curaua Fiber Reinforced Epoxy Matrix Composites

2016
Thermoset polymers, like the epoxy, become harder with increasing temperature owing to molecular crosslink formation, which is a thermal benefit for composite matrix applications. Natural lignocellulosic fibers, however, have low thermal resistance and tend to degrade with increasing temperature.

Tensile and Impact Properties of Two Fiber Configurations for Curaua Reinforced Composites

2017
Natural fibers have been extensively investigated in the past decades, due to their good properties, lightweight, low cost and renewable nature. From the ananas erectifolius plant, high strength and high modulus curaua fibers can be obtained. Their remarkable properties make them adequate to several high performance applications.

Preliminary Experimental Behavior of Bio‐Epoxy Polymer Impregnation on Curaua Fibers Against Glass Fibers

Polymer Composites
ABSTRACT This preliminary experimental investigation analyzes and compares the impregnation behavior of a bio‐epoxy polymer on curaua ( Ananas erectifolius ) fibers versus conventional glass fibers under laboratory‐scale conditions.
